DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The .beta.-lactams of formula 1 have activity against gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Of particular interest is the good activity against gram negative organisms in vitro and in vivo exhibited by the compounds of this invention. The compound of this invention can be used as agents to combat bacterial infections (including urinary tract infections and respiratory infections) in mammalian species, such as domesticated animals (e.g., dogs, cats, cows, horses, and the like) and humans.
For combating bacterial infections in mammals, a compound of this invention can be administered to a mammal in need thereof in an amount of about 1.4 mg/kg/day to about 350 mg/kg/day, preferably about 14 mg/kg/day to about 100 mg/kg/day. All modes of administration which have been used in the past to deliver penicillins and cephalosporins to the site of the infection are also contemplated for use with .beta.-lactams of this invention. Such methods of administration include oral, intravenous, intramuscular, and as a suppository.
The compounds of this invention can be prepared by coupling a compound having the formula ##STR7## wherein R.sub.5 is hydrogen or a suitable protecting group such as formyl or trityl with a compound of the formula ##STR8## wherein R.sub.6 is hydrogen or a suitable phenol-protecting group or R.sub.6 /R.sub.6 is a catechol protecting group such as Si(t-butyl).sub.2, R.sub.7 is hydrogen or a suitable protecting group such as t-butyl or diphenylmethyl and HY is a mineral acid, sulfonic acid or another non-nucleophilic acid capable of forming a stable hydroxylamine salt and m is 0, 1, or 2 or fractions of 1 or 2. All synthesis of compounds using intermediates carrying protecting groups such as R.sub.5, R.sub.6, and R.sub.7 in formulae 2, 3 and 6 provide protected derivatives of 1 which must be finally deprotected.
Alternatively, the compounds of formula 1 can be prepared by reacting a compound of the formula ##STR9## wherein Z is a leaving group such as halogen, trifluoroacetate, alkylsulfonate, arylsulfonate or other activated esters of alcohols; wherein R.sub.6 is the same as above with the proviso that if R.sub.5 is trityl then R.sub.6 may also be benzyl or another protecting group which can be removed by catalytic hydrogenation and R.sub.7 is the same as above with the proviso that in compound 4, R.sub.7 may also be allyl, trimethylsilylethyl or other non-sterically crowded carboxyl protecting group with a compound of the formula ##STR10## wherein R.sub.5 is a defined above and R.sub.8 is hydrogen or a carboxyl protecting group which can be removed under conditions wherein R.sub.7 remains inert. If R.sub.5 is trityl then R.sub.8 may also be p-nitrobenzyl to form a compound of the formula ##STR11## wherein R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 have hereinbefore been defined. Compound 6 is then reacted with a compound of the formula ##STR12## to form compounds of the invention represented by formula 1.
Compound 6 can also be formed by reacting compound 3 with a compound of the formula ##STR13## wherein R.sub.5 and R.sub.8 are as hereinbefore defined.
Compound 3 can be prepared from compound by total or partial removal of the protecting groups R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.9, R.sub.10. ##STR14##
Also, the cyclic hydroxamic acids of formula 10 can be hydrolyzed (HCl conc., ca 80.degree.) to form the hydroxylamines of formula 3. ##STR15##
Alternatively, compound 3 can be prepared from compound 11 by desoxygenation and total or partial removal of the protecting group R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.9, R.sub.10. ##STR16##
Compounds 9 and 11 can be prepared by reacting a compound of formula 12, with a N-protected derivative of hydroxylamine of the formula 13 in an organic solvent and in the presence of a base such as K.sub.2 CO.sub.3 or triethylamine. ##STR17## m=0 or 1
In the case of m=0 formula 12 is identical with formula 4. Hence, all definitions of R.sub.6, R.sub.7, X and Z are specified as in formula 4. Instead of activated esters of alcohols as leaving groups Z, the alcohols themselves (Z=OH) can be used if the alcohols are preactivated by using e.g. Mitsunobu conditions (PPH.sub.3 /DEAD/THF). ##STR18##
In formula 13, R.sub.11 and R.sub.12 are combinations of suitable protecting groups such as H, t-butyloxy-carbonyl (BOC), benzyloxy-carbonyl or R.sub.11 and R.sub.12 taken together form a divalent, cyclic protective group such as isopropylidene group (CH.sub.3).sub.2 C or a phthalyl group. In the case of R.sub.11 =R.sub.12 =BOC ((BOC).sub.2 NOH) compound 13a is novel and forms an integral part of this invention. In formula 9 and 11, R.sub.9 and R.sub.10 are equivalent to R.sub.11 and R.sub.12 in formula 13.
Compound 13a is made by reacting a compound of the formula 14 ##STR19## with di-t-butyldicarbonate in a mixture of water, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and NaOH to form a compound of the formula 15. Intermediate 15 is also reported in the literature: R. Sulsky and J. P. Demers, Tetrahedron Letters, 30, (1989), 31-34. ##STR20##
Compound 15 is reacted with di-t-butyldicarbonate in tetrahydrofuran and 4-dimethylaminopyridine to form a compound of the formula 16. ##STR21##
Compound 16 is hydrogenated in the presence of palladium on activated carbon to form compound 13a.
Compound 12 can be prepared by halogenation (e.g. NBS) of the corresponding alkyl substituted compound 17. ##STR22## wherein R.sub.3, R.sub.4 is defined previously or by conversion of the correponding N-oxides of the formula 18 with acetylchloride or trifluoroacetic anhydride. The acetate group introduced in this manner is subsequently displaced by halide ion and in the case when m is one in formula 18 the remaining N-oxide moiety is deoxygenated to afford a compound of formula 12. ##STR23##
In order to prepare compounds of formula 1 when n is zero, compounds of formula 4 wherein Z is halogen and X is a single bond are prepared by reacting compounds of the formula ##STR24## with POCl.sub.3. A compound of formula 18a is equivalent to a compound of formula 4 when Z is OH and n is zero.
Alternatively, compound 12 can be prepared by conversion of the Z--X group in 12 to a modified Z'--X' group as exemplified in the following Scheme 1 and Scheme 2. Formula 19 is identical with formula 12 if Z=Hal, X=CH.sub.2 and m=0; formula 19 is also identical with formula 4 if Z=Hal and X=CH.sub.2. ##STR25## Formula 24 is identical with formula 4 if Z=OH and X=(CH.sub.2).sub.n.
Aldehydes 21 (n=3,4) with suitable protective groups R.sub.13 such as acetate, benzyl etc. are known from the literature. Alternatively, compound 22 can be prepared via the following scheme 2. ##STR26##
The necessary Wittig reagent 26 (n=4) with a suitable protective group R.sub.13, such as benzyl, is known from the literature.
Alternatively, compound of formula 12 with m=0 and Z=OR.sub.13 or H can be prepared by reacting a compound of formula 27 wherein X is CR.sub.3 R.sub.4 or (CH.sub.2).sub.n ; n=1,2,3,4 (as defined previously) and Z is hydrogen or a suitable protected hydroxy group (as defined previously) with ##STR27## a compound of formula 28 wherein R.sub.6 is a suitable phenol-protecting group (as defined previously) or R.sub.6 /R.sub.6 is a catechol protecting group (as defined previously). ##STR28## m=0,1,2 or fractions of 1 and 2
Instead of compound of the formula 27, derivatives thereof such as hydrates or bisulfite adducts can be used. Compound of formula 27 can be prepared from compounds of the formula 29 by direct oxidation (e.g. by means of SeO.sub.2) or by indirect oxidation (e.g. nitrosation followed by treatment with N.sub.2 O.sub.4 or condensation with dimethoxy dimethylamino methane followed by ozonolysis). ##STR29## X=CR.sub.3 R.sub.4 ; (CH.sub.2).sub.n ; n=1,2,3,4 D=H, OR.sub.13
R.sub.7 =as defined previously
Compounds of formula 28 can be prepared by reduction of corresponding dinitro compounds as exemplified for the isopropylidene-protected derivative 28 (R.sub.6 /R.sub.6 =C(CH.sub.3).sub.2) in U.S. Pat. No. 4,904,757, Example 3D.
Alternatively, compound 28 can be prepared by reduction of a protected amino-nitro-catechol as exemplified for the dibenzyl protected derivative 33 (24, R.sub.6 =CH.sub.2 --C.sub.6 H.sub.5) in scheme 3. ##STR30##
The dibenzyl compound 33 is novel and forms an integral part of this invention.
Compound 18 with m=1 can be prepared by oxidation of compound 17 by means of peroxy acids or by reacting a compound of formula 34 (wherein R.sub.6 is defined as previously) with a compound of formula 29 (wherein X and D are defined as previously). ##STR31##
Compound 34 can be prepared by reacting compound 35 with NaN.sub.3 in dimethyl sulfoxide. ##STR32##
The isopropylidene-protected derivative 35 (R.sub.6 /R.sub.6 =C(CH.sub.3).sub.2) is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,904,775. Replacement of the isopropylidene protecting group by other protecting groups can be achieved by hydrolysis removal (HCl conc./80.degree. C.) of the isopropylidene group and subsequent protection of 4,5-dinitrocatechol with another phenol/or catechol-protecting group. Obviously, such a replacement of a protective group by another protective group R.sub.6 can also be performed on a later stage of the synthesis as exemplified by the following scheme 4. ##STR33##
The preferred method of preparation for the preferred compound of Example 20 involves the following sequence.
Examples 20A.fwdarw.20B.fwdarw.21.fwdarw.3.fwdarw.8.fwdarw.9.fwdarw.20H.fwdarw.20I.
The compounds of formula 1 contain at least one chiral center--the carbon atom (in the 3-position of the .beta.-lactam nucleus) to which the acylamino substituent is attached. This invention is directed to those .beta.-lactams which have been described above, wherein the stereochemistry at the chiral center in the 3-position of the .beta.-lactam nucleus is the same as the configuration at the carbon atom in the 6-position of naturally occurring penicillins (e.g., penicillin G) and as the configuration at the carbon atom in the 7-position of naturally occurring cephalosporins (e.g., cephalosporin C).
The compounds of formula 1 have the imino substituent ##STR34## and can, therefore, exist as the syn or anti isomer or as a mixture of isomers. All of these isomeric forms are within the scope of this invention. In general, however, the syn isomer of a compound of formula 1 has the greatest activity.
The freeze dried or lyophilized L-arginine salts of the compounds of formula I are prepared by mixing the required amount of the formula I compound and 90% of the required L-arginine together. For example, for a 1 gram sample of the compound (�2R-�2.alpha.,3.alpha.(Z)!!-3-����1-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)-2-�(2-methyl-4-oxo-1-sulfo-3-azetidinyl)amino!-2-oxoethylidene!amino!oxy!methyl!-6,7-dihydroxy-2-quinoxalinecarboxylic acid) the required amount of L-arginine is 0.58 to 0.65 grams to bring the pH of the solution to preferably about 5.5. Alternatively, based on in-process titration, 100% of the L-arginine required for preparation is used to bring the pH of the solution to about 5.5. This solution is prepared by dissolving the dry mixture of the formula I compound and L-arginine in about 90% of the required amount of water. After the pH has been adjusted to preferably about 5.5 with more L-arginine, if required, the solution is brought to final volume with water. The solution is clarified and filtered, if required. The solution is then freeze dried by conventional methods. Similar methods known to those skilled in the art may be utilized to form other amino acid salts of the compounds of formula I.
